Many of the posters here are rather amusing because they exercise their arrogance and stupidity often. Allow me to address the ignorant, opinionated low life's that seem to want to lump anything German into the Nazi camp. A saying, slogan or moto is never the sole providence of the people who use it. If I use the phrase "Praise Allah" that doesn't make me an Arab Terrorist, but I wouldn't doubt it does in your small minds. Then again work in any language probably stands as a dirty word for you to be avoided at all costs. It's too bad that so many come here for an education when they would do much better to go back and finish their schooling.

Attaboy, big guy. How to win friends and influence people.

"Then again work in any language probably stands as a dirty word for you to be avoided at all costs."

Says the guy who has never held a meaningful professional career in his entire life, but instead lives in mom's house and spends his inheritance from his late father's estate -- basically, a freeloader.

"It's too bad that so many come here for an education when they would do much better to go back and finish their schooling."

Says the guy who brags about his college degree but cannot spell common words, such as "probably," "crowd," "asinine," "obtain," and the list goes on...

pueno, spelling as has been pointed out to you is the province of no more than an elementary school education. However, the fact that you attack persons and not ideas makes it quite obvious that you lack any other education of substance and resort to your English elementary school background for support. Futhermore, you do not belong on these forums at all. You are not a windsurfer, never have been a windsurfer and have no intentions of becoming a windsurfer. Ruining threads remains your purpose and nothing more.

The phrase you used shows incredible insensitivity. Do you really think that anyone in Germany or in Europe aside from a Neo-Nazi uses it, ever? It still adorns the gate to the Auschwitz concentration camp.

No -- I enjoy highlighting your abundant hypocrisy. And R. Bruce Swift has plenty of hypocrisy to spread around.

You ignorant ass, the "saying" you chose was inscribed over the
gates of Nazi concentration camps. There is no other meaning that
can be ascribed to it. Whether you use that tag line in German,
English or Swahili, it is still grossly ignorant at best, and racism at
worst. If you walked down a street in Germany wearing a T-shirt
with that written on it, you would literally be arrested; your "right" to
"free speech" in most of Europe does not extend to racial insults.
In other places, I can easily imagine someone beating you even
more senseless than you already are, if such a thing is possible.

The only ignorant lowlife in this conversation is you. I suggest that
you drop this topic before the calls to ban you from the forum are
actually listened to by the people who run the site.

Well spoken Mr. Swmckay. Those words are forever tarnished, and only a buffoon would imagine otherwise. Many Jews found it impossible to come to terms with what had happened, and some lost all faith after the war and committed suicide.

As a youth in the early 50's I too was seething with indignation and found it hard to understand how wiser heads, such as Yehudi Menuhin could talk of acceptance and even forgiveness of the past. Daniel Barenboim also showed us how the power of great art could heal when he accepted an invitation from the Berlin Philharmonic to conduct them in performances of Wagner.

There are people who help us to come to a better understanding of the dark side of human nature, and to heal .... and then there are the ignorant jackasses!

Not always. My college roomie was an indisputable genius in both technical and liberal arts subjects, but couldn't spell isht. It just wasn't in his jeans. But criticizing others for spelling when one's position runs out of facts is about as lame as as an argument gets.

Regarding spelling, the point is that it isn't important unless you are a child, have no more than an elementary education or are editing for print. Ideas and facts are more important for the better educated. Vulgarity also is the province of the arrogant and stupid. It's commonplace and does not earn respect. When you start a post like this

You ignorant ass,

you should not expect many readers to continue. In fact, personal attacks like this and those Pueno and others use on public forums often discredit them more than they discredit those they are attacking. Sure you can sit at home and spew forth a lot of crap, but you won't be respected for it. 99% of what Pueno writes I ingnore, but everything I write he reads. If I stop posting on a public blog, he stalks the web until he can find something I write. Do you ever wonder why? Back to your roomie, have you ever considered that he was a good speller in elementary school and lost it when he went on to other things? Futhermore, genius and liberal arts are contradictory terms. Pueno took some writing courses in rather ordinary state schools and learned the technicals of writing, but learned nothing about the practicality or expediency of it. Essentially he is wasting his time, and wants you to waste your time with him.

Brucie, swmckay nailed you, though to merely characterize you as "ignorant" and an "ass" is a double understatement.

I'm glad to learn that you "ingnore" (check your spelling, big guy) my posts. Iso also claims to -- but of course, he doesn't, nor do you.

"Futhermore, genius and liberal arts are contradictory terms..."

Check that spelling again, fruitcake. And what do you mean by this? Are genius and liberal arts mutually exclusive? Does that mean you cannot be a genius? (We all know that to be true, anyway.)

Does that mean that since I'm not in the liberal arts I CAN be a genius?
